Best Bowl Game Sponsors: The All-Poulan WeedEater Team
by CriticalFanatic
12/12/07

Don't you miss the days of real, actual bowl names. The Sun Bowl, The Citrus Bowl, etc. Now it's .com this, and sooner to be a new sponsor that. Since we're still a week off from the first bowl game I thought I'd keep myself entertained with the all bowl sponsor team named appropriately for the best sponsor of all-time: Poulan WeedEater Independence Bowl.

1. San Diego Credit Union Poinsettia
The fact a bowl game is sponsored by a local credit union is almost too much.
Suggested replacement: FTD Florists'

2. PetroSun Independence
The Independence Bowl was the first to venture into sponsorship with the unforgettable Poulan WeedEater. Soon it became Sanford and then Mainstay Investments which was probably quick to see a poor ROI. Now the Shreveport-based game belongs to a a Phoenix, Arizona-based company that provides services and products to suppliers of oil and gas.
Suggested replacement: Harrah's

3. Gaylord Hotels Music City
Yes, I'm 13. But come on?
Suggested replacement: Cracker Barrel

4. Brut Sun
I guess I'm curious what value a men's fragrance has pouring money into a game that's played after Christmas.
Suggested replacement: I realize El Paso isn't anywhere near a beach, but how about some skin care guidance (and bikini models) from Hawaiian Tropic

5. Roady's Humanitarian
Beautiful, a bowl game sponsored by a chain of truck stops. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess most truck drivers aren't watching this game played in Boise.
Suggested replacement: Blue turf, it's too easy: Blue Man Group

Am I the only one that can't bear to watch football played on blue turf? I constantly feel like my TV is broken. Just play on green turf, damn it!

 

What ever happened to the Bluebonnet Bowl!?

I love the Gaylord Hotel bowl. It reminds me of my sophomore and junior year roommate, Jeff Byers. We called him Gaylord (CF knows what I'm talking about.)

 

I think the International Bowl in Toronto should be renamed:

     The Don Cherry Bowl

     The USA Jr Bowl

     The Ice Bowl

     The Molson Bowl
